Charge Characteristics of Agouti-Related Protein Implicate Potent Involvement of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Metabolic Function [PDF]

iScience, 2019
Summary: The endogenous melanocortin peptide agouti-related protein (AgRP) plays a well-known role in foraging, but its contribution to metabolic regulation is less understood.

Agouti-related protein as the glucose signaling sensor in the central melanocortin circuits in regulating fish food intake [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Agouti-related protein (AgRP) is a neuropeptide synthesized by AgRP/NPY neurons and transcribed as 132 amino acids in humans and 142 amino acids (AgRP1) in Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax maculatus) fish.

Plasma Agouti-Related Protein and Cortisol Levels in Cushing Disease: Evidence for the Regulation of Agouti-Related Protein by Glucocorticoids in Humans. [PDF]

J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2019
AbstractContextGlucocorticoids regulate energy balance, in part by stimulating the orexigenic neuropeptide agouti-related protein (AgRP). AgRP neurons express glucocorticoid receptors, and glucocorticoids have been shown to stimulate AgRP gene expression in rodents.ObjectiveWe sought to determine whether there is a relationship between plasma AgRP and ...

Differential effects of overexpression of mutant huntingtin and TDP-43 in agouti-related protein neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus in mice [PDF]

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
The spectrum of frontotemporal dementia/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD/ALS) and Huntington disease (HD) are fatal neurodegenerative disorders with no major disease-modifying therapies. Recent work has shown that the hallmark pathological proteins TAR

Targeted proteomics analysis in type 1 diabetes identifies lower agouti-related protein levels in individuals with impaired hypoglycaemia awareness [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) is a complication of diabetes treatment, whereby individuals are no longer able to feel an oncoming hypoglycaemic event.

The role of the Agouti-Related Protein in energy balance regulation. [PDF]

Cell Mol Life Sci, 2008
The Agouti-Related Protein (AgRP) is a powerful orexigenic peptide that increases food intake when ubiquitously overexpressed or when administered centrally. AgRP-deficiency, on the other hand, leads to increased metabolic rate and a longer lifespan when mice consume a high fat diet.

Molecular mechanisms for activation of the agouti-related protein and stimulation of appetite. [PDF]

Diabetes, 2011
OBJECTIVE The agouti-related protein (Agrp) is a powerful orexigenic peptide, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation. The objective of this study was to determine molecular mechanisms for the activation of hypothalamic Agrp and identify compounds that stimulate appetite.

Glucose Intake during the Neonatal Period Modulates the Central Melanocortin System with Breed-Specific Differences [PDF]

The Journal of Poultry Science
Glucose is the primary substrate for cellular energy production, and its blood concentration is tightly regulated. This study investigated the effect of glucose supplementation during the first three days post-hatching on growth performance and ...

mTORC1 Signaling in AgRP Neurons Is Not Required to Induce Major Neuroendocrine Adaptations to Food Restriction

Cells, 2023
Hypothalamic mTORC1 signaling is involved in nutrient sensing. Neurons that express the agouti-related protein (AgRP) are activated by food restriction and integrate interoceptive and exteroceptive signals to control food intake, energy expenditure, and ...

Malocclusion impairs cognitive behavior via AgRP signaling in adolescent mice

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionOcclusal disharmony induced by deteriorating oral health conditions, such as tooth loss and decreased masticatory muscle due to sarcopenia, is one of the causes of cognitive impairment.
